CKEPJP85/SC Screened and Flexible Armored Marine Control Cable
Product Overview
The CKEPJP85/SC is a high-flexibility, screened and armored marine control cable designed for applications requiring excellent electromagnetic shielding, mechanical protection, and frequent bending or vibration resistance. It combines EPR insulation with a tinned copper braid screen, a tinned copper braid armor (8), and is fully sheathed in Halogen-Free, Low Smoke Flame Retardant (LSHF) cross-linked polyolefin (SHF2). This construction provides superior EMI protection, durability, and enhanced fire safety for dynamic or space-constrained installations on vessels, offshore platforms, and in industrial plants.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Superior EMI Shielding & Flexible Armor: Features dual tinned copper braid layers for both the screen (P) and armor (8), offering exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) while maintaining high flexibility for routing in tight spaces or areas subject to movement.
-
Enhanced Safety & Environmental Resistance: The Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) SHF2 sheaths (IEC 60754, IEC 61034) provide excellent flame retardancy (IEC 60332), chemical resistance, and durability against oils and moisture.
-
Robust and Reliable: EPR insulation ensures stable electrical performance at a continuous temperature of 90°C. The overall construction is designed for long service life in harsh marine and industrial environments.
-
Optimized for Flexible Use: The copper braid armor offers effective mechanical protection without compromising cable flexibility, making it ideal for control panels, moving machinery connections, and complex cable runs.
